Title: Can't finish the game Post by: kuma on December 15, 2008, 07:58:29 am I'm at the sa matra. The Pkunk and Yehat have come to my rescue but I can't shoot out the red thingies with the Pkunk. They keep getting blown away even though I resurrect them lots. Does someone have a video of how to do this? Hey Shiver? I've seen your ship to ship videos. It seems like most of the people posting have finished the game a bunch of times and are now only interested in techy things. I just want to finish the game. Help!

The shield generators have quite a few hitpoints. You need to riddle each of them with bullets (6-10 shots I guess, but I haven't looked at the Sa-Matra's code) to knock them out. The only advice I can give you is try and use the side guns rather than the front gun. I'm not especially keen on making a video of this. If I made a Sa-Matra video, I'd probably try to do it with Druuge or something. I guess you could use the Battlefrank video posted in here if you need something as reference. Here's a way to cheat: When you're at the Sa-Matra, open up the Game menu and then go into Settings. Turn on Cyborg. There are three Cyborg settings. Any setting will do. Now fight the Sa-Matra. If you do this, the game will skip the Sa-Matra fight altogether. Title: Re: Can't finish the game Post by: Elvish Pillager on December 15, 2008, 09:12:43 pm The generators have 15 HP each.

Why doesn't the cyborg try to fight the Sa-Matra?

But that way is of course cheap and cheaty and no scrupulous player would EVER do that.Title: Re: Can't finish the game Post by: Shiver on December 15, 2008, 10:16:44 pm The generators have 15 HP each. Geez, 15? So much for beating the end boss with a Druuge mercenary. Quote from: jaychant Why doesn't the cyborg try to fight the Sa-Matra? It doesn't know how to.

Title: Re: Can't finish the game Post by: Death 999 on December 15, 2008, 11:27:46 pm Assuming it didn't error out, it would probably charge in way too close, not aim at the generators, and generally act idiotically. Moreso than usual.

Moreso than usual. Commenting out sc2code/comm.c:1528-1530 (which makes the last battle be against an empty list of enemies if cyborg is on), results in the computer doing absolutely nothing against the Sa-Matra, as far as I can see. |
